What you think, is God

I spent some time thinking. Thinking about our collective human consciousness and thought. What makes us 'us'. We know WHAT happens in our brain, but science is yet to uncover HOW it works. Your dreams, thoughts, ideas and imagination are yet to be debunked and will remain a mystery left to hypothesis until a smart man in a lab coat fixated by the human coconut will crack the mystery...until then, this is my hypothesis.

Reality is merely our collective agreement on understanding the understandable. Let's look at a pink shoe. Our minds perceive an oddly shaped object, yet quite distinct in its form. It also notices that this object is unlike any other object in its environment, in that its color is different. We therefore need to classify the shape and hue in order for us to relate the object to something acceptable. Therefore this object will be called shoe, and anything shaped like it will be titled the same. Of the many shoes this particular type of shoe, due to its visual difference, will be sub-classified as a pink shoe.

Effectively, what I am saying is that mankind needs to classify and categorize everything it knows. This is in order for its mind to comprehend what it interacts with. The moment something is incomprehensible, insanity usually kicks in.

Now, I consider the one thing which we are aware of but cannot see, touch, taste or smell. The one thing we believe exists, but cannot bring to an inter-actable reality. God.

3 letters used to spell a word. A word which produces a meaning so powerful, that writing it without the respect of a capital letter admonishes punishment. Literary punishment only, mind you. We have never seen Him, yet we know that He's there. He's never physically spoken to us, yet we believe that he listens when WE speak. So we accept and believe that he exists, because our our minds believe that he does. This is not a modern era thing. Throughout the history of man, every social group created some or other form of deity(ies) Modern man have given Him a new title. My opinion, is that through collective belief something comes into being and therefore 'is', making it real because we choose to believe that it is...even though our senses disagree thereto. Take a rainbow as an example. It does not exist to a dog who cannot see colour. It only exists to man. The dog's reality does not include a rainbow - no such thing therefore exists according to it. Were a dog to be logically explained to that a rainbow does indeed exist, it will choose to believe in its existence or not.

A vexing analogy, but one that illustrates the difference between reality and fabricated reality. Fabricated reality is a term I use to explain my stance on this matter. We may not ever see God, hear Him speak to us or smell the flowers on His long white golden-laced drapes. Yet He does exist, because we believe that he does in order to appease the human consciousness and our debates about 'the end'.

We're approaching a stage in our existence where information is freely available, as a result people's beliefs and opinions are shifting toward individual beliefs. We will always believe in God. Where it will deviate from tradition, is the path we choose toward him. That's right, him.
